Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation, General American) enPR: fĕlʹən, IPA(key): /ˈfɛlən/
  • Rhymes: -ɛlən
  • Hyphenation: fel‧on

Etymology 1

The adjective is derived from Middle English feloun, felun (“base, wicked; hostile; of an animal: dangerous; of words: angry, harsh, slanderous; of things: dangerous, deadly; false, fraudulent; unlucky”) [and other forms], from Old French felon (“bad, evil, immoral”) (compare fel (“evil; despicable, vile”)), from Vulgar Latin *fellō, *fellōnem; further etymology uncertain, possibly from one of the following, among other suggestions:

  • From Latin fel (“bile, gall; bitterness; poison; venom”) (said by the Oxford English Dictionary to be “the most probable”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃- (“green; yellow”), or from *bʰel-, *bʰl̥H- (“yellow”).
  • From Medieval Latin fellō (“barbarian; criminal”, noun), either:
    • from Frankish *falljō (“wicked person, evildoer”), from Proto-West Germanic *falu (“cruel; evil”), from Proto-Germanic *faluz (“bad, terrible; cruel”), from Proto-Indo-European *pol- (“to flee; to float; to flow; to fly; to pour; to swim”); or
    • from Old High German *fillo, from fillen (“to beat; to whip”), from Proto-Indo-European *pelh₂- (“to stir, move, swing”).

Doublet of fell (“of a strong and cruel nature; fierce; grim; ruthless, savage”).

Sense 3 (“obtained through a felony”) is derived from the noun.

The noun is derived from Middle English feloun, felun (“criminal, specifically one who has committed a felony, felon; cruel, hostile, violent, etc., person; deceiver; evildoer, monster, sinner; traitor; bold or fierce warrior; deceit, falseness; wickedness, wrongdoing; treachery”) [and other forms], from feloun, felun (adjective): see above.
